Another group of settlers threw rocks at vehicles with Palestinian registration plates traveling along Road 465, north of Ramallah.

Aref Daraghmeh, a local Palestinian activist, told the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) official news agency WAFA that settlers used bulldozers to level large areas of agricultural land, owned by local Palestinians, in Al-Farisiya.
The Jordan Valley, which is a fertile strip of land running west along the Jordan River, is home to about 65,000 Palestinians and makes up approximately 30 percent of the West Bank.
Overnight on Monday, Israeli forces attacked a Palestinian hospital in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarem by storming the center and fired “concussion grenades” into the hospital.
Director of the Thabet Government Hospital, Haitham Shadeed, told WAFA that he and the medical staff were left shocked when Israeli forces raided the hospital courtyard and the Outpatient Clinics Section’s waiting room at 3:30 am.

Sukkar said that the settlers were attempting to damage agricultural land and uproot trees as part of a campaign to establish a new settlement outpost.
He added that the settlers retreated to the surrounding hills, but did not leave the area. This had raised fears in the Palestinian villages of a new impending attack.
More than 600,000 Israeli Jews live in settlements in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, in constructions considered illegal under international law.

The Zionist barbarian are out doing the Nazis. Interestingly both US and Canadian Government reward this brutality by providing a secretive tax free charity status to the OMLY country Israel. That makes us second class citizens since we can not send money to an other country tax free and invest it as do the Jews supporting the barbaric army, settler brutality, illegal settlements, occupation, bombing schools, hospitals, murdering at will. Destruction and stealing properties jailing small children. What a society what a mentality. You better get concerned before you will also get effected. Get rid of the political prostitutes kissing the Zionist butts for a buck.
